Hello My Beautiful Creatures

Jesus Christ, early into this movie I jokingly called it "a Disneyfied Mad God," and I didn't know how right I would be.

I think knowing as little as possible going into this movie is probably the best way to watch it. I kept expecting the novelty to wear off, or the jokes to get stale, or the story to just sputter out. But it never stopped. The drama only got stronger, the jokes got funnier, and the twists became that much more painful.

My only complaints are that it's a little longer than I liked, and the low framerate was distracting. That being said, it is incredible that this, one of the longest stop motion movies ever made, was able to be done with just a few thousand dollars and a few months of time. All I can say is "bravo," and "more please."

A few things that amazed me: The huge cast The musical numbers The house fire The emotional charge of the violence, it is very painful.
